Scarlet Sprites recently posted an accessories overview for the Capcom Play System arcade boards, focusing on Darksoft’s multi adapter and the new CPS 1.5 audio chip update. If you’re a fan of original arcade hardware and want to see what’s out there for the CPS1, this is a great “overview” video.

As usual when discussing expensive arcade hardware, I have to remind people: If this is too expensive for you, don’t buy any of it. You can emulate CPS arcade games for free via software on a PC if you’re on a budget and you can always pick up a cheap Raspberry Pi JAMMA solution for arcade cabinets. Stuff like this is specifically for people looking to game on original hardware and don’t mind spending their money on restoring all original equipment.
Also, if you’d like to hear more from Joe, we did a podcast awhile back – Either watch the video below, or just search any podcast app for “RetroRGB Scarlet”:
